Report From Gray Capital: "The Multifamily Window: Why 2025 Could Be the Best Buy Opportunity in Years"

INDIANAPOLIS, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Multifamily investment firm Gray Capital has just published its latest research brief, "The Multifamily Window: Why 2025 Could Be the Best Buy Opportunity in Years," which details the powerful trends in the housing market and apartment market that have contributed to the positive investment prospects for multifamily assets in 2025. Specifically, the report shows how robust apartment demand and household growth are set to outpace the rapidly declining apartment supply growth expected this year, driving further investor interest and growing momentum in multifamily sales activity.

"Multifamily investors are jaded from the last few years of high interest rates, surging new supply, and negative rent growth, which have led to capital calls and distress. That scenario is soon to be behind us, so it's critical for investors to look at the longer-term fundamentals. When you do that, the next 5-10 years look very positive, but investors have to push past the fear and uncertainty of today if they want to take advantage of lower asset prices," says Spencer Gray, President and CEO of Gray Capital.

Using data from the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Labor Statistics alongside sources like CoStar and CME Group, Gray Capital's report comes at a time in which economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates have slowed multifamily investment activity to a crawl in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, however, fundamentals are improving, with construction starts slowing to levels not seen since 2011 and absorption levels above 550,000 units last year—the second highest numbers in over 25 years. This more balanced, active multifamily market contrasts with the sluggishness of previous years and has already attracted investor attention.

"Institutional investors are already moving back into multifamily, and our report highlights the data and trends driving this renewed confidence in the market," says Matt Bastnagel, Director of Communications and Marketing at Gray Capital.

The apartment market is strengthening, with tight supply, rising rents, and renewed investor activity making 2025 a prime opportunity for multifamily investment. The market is in the midst of a major transition from hesitation to action, and Gray Capital's report provides key insights and data to help investors capitalize on this shifting landscape.
